Download Contractual Procedures in Construction Industry by Allan Ashworth [PDF]

There are many individuals within the construction industry who will, at some time in their careers, become professionally involved in either litigation or arbitration or adjudication. The laws which are applied in the construction industry are both of a general and a specialist nature.

They are general in the sense that they embrace the tents of law appropriate to all legal decisions and are special since the interpretation of construction contracts and documents requires a particular knowledge and understanding of the construction industry. Note, however, that the interpretation and application of law will not be contrary to or in opposition to the established legal principles and precedents found elsewhere.

It is appropriate at this stage to consider briefly the framework of the English legal systems.
